I would have to say it has after reading this ignorant, emotional claptrap: “How can anyone justify exposing a 7-month-old baby to the inherent dangers of errant bullets being discharged in the forest during prime hunting season?”

I am 66 years of age. I began following my father around in the woods during hunting season, sometimes I’m sure he did want me crashing through the leaves behind him, and I’ve never witnessed “errant bullets being discharged” while in the woods. It’s not something that happens but extremely rarely.

And yet the same sniveling whiners think nothing of strapping a newborn baby into a car seat and heading to the mall. Surely there is more risk in a car than from so-imagined “errant bullets.”

Or perhaps this brain-poisoned automaton would prefer that the children stay home and become mind controlled from filthy, disgusting movies, music, video games, cell phones, Facebook, and the like. Perhaps she would prefer propping the child up in front of the technological device and watching Disney’s new movie that shows one princess looking to kill another “rival” princess with broken glass. There’s also the myriad available violence-laced video games that teach children how to fire “errant bullets” and kill innocent people all in the name of entertainment.

Maybe the author prefers that at 7 months of age the parent begins teaching their child how to become a homosexual, a transgender, a lesbian, a queer, bisexual, or the benefits of smoking dope or doing meth at a young age. God only knows we can’t take any other far-out risk of exposing our child to “errant bullets.”

“Has the world gone completely mad?” Absolutely, and this author is proof of it. The world is insane. Priorities are askew. Values have all gone away. Morals are missing.

“The days are growing colder, and soon millions of American hunters will pursue a time-honored tradition. They will load their automatic weapons with armor-piercing bullets, strap on silencers, head off to the picnic grounds on nearby public lakes — and start shooting.

If you do not immediately recognize this pastime as part of America’s heritage, then you are sadly out of step with the current Republican majority in Congress. On Tuesday, a House panel takes up the “Sportsmen’s Heritage and Recreational Enhancement Act of 2017,” which promises “to protect and enhance opportunities for recreational hunting, fishing and shooting.””<<<Read More>>> if you can take it.

I have, for the most part, stopped watching television news. Need I explain why? However, I think it was yesterday, as I was sitting at my computer writing, I could hear on the television in the next room a news story of how one Middle School, somewhere in America, was celebrating “culture day,” whatever that is. I think it is part of what is called “spirit week.” Probably the spirit is that of Satan, but I digress.

One student brought in a Confederate Flag for his representation of “culture.” The police were called immediately. The young man was arrested and suspended from school (I don’t know for how long). The next day all the black students skipped class and gathered in protest outside the school building. Their actions were applauded.

Fortunately for America, so far, history has shown that any time a political candidate, not only stands up in opposition to the Second Amendment, but does something bone-headed like pose for a fake “hunting” photograph, while at the same time telling people stuff about the Constitution, our right to bear arms, and lying about our “right to hunt,” that ain’t true, they get embarrassed in defeat at the polls.

My God they will never learn. Perhaps they believe that the majority of voters are as stupid as they are. Fortunately, there are still a few who know better.

It has been reported that three women decided it would be fun to go “tubing” on the Muskegon River in Michigan. They had never been tubing before. Perhaps they had never been out of their houses either. They stepped out and bought some tubes and headed for a popular put-in location. According to one of the women who became “lost,” they were told by “someone” that the river goes in a circle; that if they launched at this particular site they would return back to their car where they started.

They didn’t return for some strange reason and spent 20 hours on the river screaming for help.

The above [please follow this link] was sent to me by a friend in Florida. While he is embroiled in “dealing” with the USFWS and the State of Florida regarding Florida “Panthers”: he recognized immediately 1.what is going on in Iowa; 2. its similarities to how Florida “Panthers” have bollixed up Florida and its wildlife; and 3.the fact that others from MT, WA & CA to AZ & North Carolina should be aware of it.

For those that have not been following this environmental/government soap opera about clearing rural America under the pretext of “concern” about wolves and the “science” about their absolute “necessity” in every “ecosystem” (actually they are simply a tool to destroy rural America and extend the power of government and evil – the right word – Non-Government Organizations over all Americans and their governance by elites); the following news release should bring you up to date so that you will understand future episodes of the soap opera.

The following simple news release has all the ingredients to start this new “thread” in our saga:

– “We understand this is a sensitive topic” says the State Wildlife Agency Director about two wolves that were shot by Iowa hunters who thought they were shooting coyotes. “Sensitive?” Why? Because we don’t want to have out-of-state environmental/animal rights protesters invading the state in between disrupting Presidential Election Events and disrupting life and traffic in some city to obtain preferences for a racial group or downtrodden women? Because they don’t want to anger federal bureaucrats in the USFWS that they depend on for largesse like grants and for tolerance in covering up misuse of Excise Taxes in the State? Because they are getting money behind the scenes from national/international NGO’s to push banning lead ammunition like California has done and Minnesota is doing? Inquiring minds want to know!

– “Our decision not to charge will be unpopular with some,” says the Director. Let that sink in. We are not mentioning justice and unjust laws here. The federal government is forcing wolves everywhere (MT, ID, WY, WA. OR, CA, AZ, NM, SC, NC, MN, MI, WI) and the states roll over on their back and urinate into the air and then as the wolves spread outward to other states more state governments are afraid to do what their residents want, i.e. keep wolves (and protesters) out and control 24/7 those that get in. They treat the wolves like returning Passenger Pigeons and Great Auks. Topping this off, the wolves look so much like coyotes that it takes an AUTOPSY for the government to determine if the critter is A. a wolf, B. a coyote, C. a dog or D. a hybrid of A, B and/or C in some mysterious percentage and for some mysterious reason. The mysterious reason is that coyotes can be shot as can free-ranging dogs on private property that threaten persons or property but wolves (the most dangerous and destructive of A, B, C and D) for political reasons are to be “protected”! Let that sink in and now read once again the Director’s statement that begins “Our decision not to charge”. Aside from the fact that he must have had a frog in his pocket to use the word “our”, ask yourself – is this a matter of political largesse to actually forgive an Iowa resident for shooting an animal that must be autopsied first before anyone knows what it is? Do these politicians and bureaucrats that pass these laws and allow these unjust impositions on rural Americans really think they “could” prosecute these hunters if they desired or that if they don’t “we” (the peasants, proletariat, serfs, unwashed, ignorant –choose one) should be grateful that despite it being “unpopular with some” they have made a “decision” not to charge us once they had an autopsy in hand? “Oh, thank you M’Lord, thank you; here let me polish your shoes with my tears of gratitude.” Am I the only one that sees the injustice and un-Constitutional insanity going on here??

– “DNR officials said the wolves likely came from Michigan, Minnesota, or Wisconsin”, well, if an “official” says so it must be true. As though whether it came from Minnesota or from Wyoming through South Dakota or Nebraska or from Saskatchewan through North Dakota is relevant. The origin (the Yukon?, Alberta?, Saskatchewan?, British Columbia? NWT?, ??) of the wolves forced into the Upper Rocky Mountain States has never been revealed; yet only the sacred “Mexican” wolf “must” live in Arizona and New Mexico and only the sacred “Red” wolf “must” live in the Carolinas. This Discovery Channel, Romance Biology is merely diversions meant to confound us as the illusionists continue performing their tricks.

– “Going forward, hunters need to know the difference between the species” says the Director. This is the same guy that needed an AUTOPSY to “decide” whether to charge (fine, imprison, rescind voting rights [that one seems less important given the Party stranglehold on who can run for election anymore] and loss of gun rights [another “right” government is trying hard to make irrelevant]) an Iowan a. abiding by Iowa law, b. ensnared by unjust federal and state laws, c. a victim of clever laws meant to entrap rural folks like game poachers on medieval estates for a host of hidden reasons from gun/weapon control to erosion of property rights and our right to protect our families.

– “The DNR is asking anyone who encounters a wolf to contact their local conservation officer or wildlife biologist” advises our erstwhile public official. Right. The next “wolf” or whatever found shot or poisoned or run over under “suspicious circumstances” that kicks off an “investigation” of mammoth proportions to rival the Bundy affair in Nevada or the “occupation” of the Malheur Refuge Headquarters will immediately cough up, “this guy Beers called in last week that he thought he saw a wolf over on County 12 near Wolfville. You know he sounded like an educated guy but he might have been a hayseed gun-nut terrorist trying to sound smart. Run a background on him and you Sherlock and you Holmes, see what you can dig up and go over there and be careful.”

– “Wolves are 5-6 feet long from nose to tail, 27-33 inches at the shoulder and weigh 50-100 pounds. Coyotes are 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 feet long, 20-22 inches at the shoulder and weigh 35-40 pounds”except, he forgot to add, A. when they are young, B. when they have coyote or dog blood (DNA) in them, C. when they are simply “larger or smaller”, D. when they are 225 yards away and you are looking through a 6X scope on an overcast day, E. when you are unwilling to risk your freedom and rights for the imagined pleasure of urban environmental/animal rights donors, NGO’s, politicians lusting for re-election, bureaucrats lusting for money and power and all living and working far, far away. Besides, do you think if you shot a 49 lb. wolf (they go up to 150+ lbs) in your yard killing your dog that your lawyer could defend you by quoting this guy? The largest coyote I ever saw was one snowy morning as I drove into the Hartford, Connecticut airport, it had just been hit and was dead alongside the road and went at least 60+ lbs: it must have been a wolf according to these “experts”.

– “They were killed in Osceola County and Van Buren County.” When I first read this I assumed that these two Counties were in the NE corner of Iowa where Mississippi River bluffs and woodlands form a contiguous pathway for wolves to move South into Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi (where they might eventually find true love with “Red” Wolves one day and begin a new series in this saga, we could call it “The Return of the Southern Red Timber Wolf to the Lower Mississippi River Valley”). We could end that episode with wolf mommies and daddies going up the Missouri and Red Rivers with their :puppies” to the West in search of their “Mexican” and “Gray” Wolf cousins that they heard still lived “wild and free”. I was wrong however about where these wolves were shot.

Buchanan County is indeed in NE Iowa, but it is about 45 miles W of the Mississippi River and about 60 S of the Minnesota border. (Note here – Minnesota wolves are responsible for the elimination of all Minnesota moose hunting because the remaining moose are too few to offer hunting opportunities anymore. Additionally, Iowa has been a very popular hunting destination for deer hunters in search of BIG bucks for decades now. When the sacred wolves take up residence, what will they eat? The NGO’s and bureaucrat/officials/scientists assure us it isn’t cattle or calves or sheep or moose or deer (they will all thrive when wolves arrive according to the “experts”.) Could it be hogs or dogs that will sustain them? What else is there? Can they live on disappearing pheasants or run down increasingly rare rabbits that take more calories to catch than they offer? Think about that the next time the state government warbles about how lucky you are to get wolves.

Osceola County is clear across Iowa in the NW corner of the state right on the Minnesota border about 45 miles E of South Dakota. I really feel sorry for that wolf, yet how lucky he was. That corner of Iowa and Minnesota is an ocean of plowed ground as I write this in March. The last time I was there at this time of year I saw a town I was driving to 15 miles away with nary an hedgerow, farmhouse or blade of grass for that matter to break my line of sight. (“Where have all those pheasants gone to??”) Just North of there in Minnesota a few winters ago a Minnesota farmer killed a mountain lion in a culvert by his house where his kids played and his horses were stabled. He was fined and almost imprisoned and the media treated him like the Dentist that shot poor “Cecil” in Zimbabwe (where since Zimbabwe big game revenue has dried up, lions are now killed by natives at a high rate and the esteemed Director of USFWS is warbling his appeal for US Airlines to refuse to carry hunting trophies). PS This is the same guy that when he was hired politically under President Clinton assured everyone he was a “hunter” and “supported hunting”. What in God’s green earth would or could these large predators find to eat there in NE Iowa or SE Minnesota or Iowa at all, kibble at feeding stations? Don’t ask, you won’t like the answer.

So wolves are now “invading” Iowa like Moslems invaded Europe in the Medieval times and Middle Ages; a two-pronged attack, first up through Spain and later through the Balkans and into Austria. The question is will Iowans hunker down and take whatever comes: or will Iowans be like Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours (France) in 732 and John Sobieski in 1683 at the Battle of Vienna (Austria) defeating the invaders and send them packing back where they came from just like Don Juan did to the Moslem Fleet in 1571 at the Battle of Lepanto. Future episodes will investigate this question.

“Wolves endangered” in Iowa? The one thing Charles Martel, John Sobieski and Don Juan had in common is they had kings, laws and people supporting them and not these far away bums encouraging the very demise of the civilization that pays them and “elects” them. Can any American communities survive under these circumstances? Only time will tell.

If you found this worthwhile, please share it with others. Thanks.

Jim Beers is a retired US Fish & Wildlife Service Wildlife Biologist, Special Agent, Refuge Manager, Wetlands Biologist, and Congressional Fellow. He was stationed in North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York City, and Washington DC. He also served as a US Navy Line Officer in the western Pacific and on Adak, Alaska in the Aleutian Islands. He has worked for the Utah Fish & Game, Minneapolis Police Department, and as a Security Supervisor in Washington, DC. He testified three times before Congress; twice regarding the theft by the US Fish & Wildlife Service of $45 to 60 Million from State fish and wildlife funds and once in opposition to expanding Federal Invasive Species authority. He resides in Eagan, Minnesota with his wife of many decades.

In a bitterly ironic move, the country that banned lion hunting after “Cecil” the lion’s death may have to cull 200 surplus lions. Officials with Zimbabwe’s Bubye Valley Conservancy are trying to move the extra animals to other wildlife areas, but if that fails the lions will be put down — a disservice to the country’s economy, hunters, and the animals themselves.

Colorado park stays closed because too many people are trying to take selfies with bears – source

“We’ve actually seen people using selfie sticks to try and get as close to the bears as possible, sometimes within 10 feet of wild bears,” said Brandon Ransom, Denver Water’s manager of recreation. Before it was closed, a bear chased a biker in the canyon.

Because Waterton Canyon has more than 100,000 visitors a year, its management is worried that these dangerous selfies would lead to a bear attack.

Perhaps it’s the dope heads who don’t know any better. I say let the pot heads alone. Let them take selfies. As a matter of fact, place signs directing them how to persuade the bear to come and take a group photo, placing the bear in the middle.

Several years ago I read a book I didn’t like. It was easy to figure out why I didn’t care for the book – I couldn’t understand it. Unlike most things written today (I’m sure I am guilty too), this book contained words and phrases the author placed together all on his own. In other words, it was original thoughts. Because our educational institutions have failed us, independent thought is missing from our culture. Note: I say our schools have failed because I see the failure as being the destruction through allowing and creating an atmosphere in which humans cannot question and draw conclusions on their own. It is not a failure if the intent is to create non-thinking robots echoing the cliches created specifically for them.

I doubt any field of interest is exempt from the bromide. I think the worst kind of platitude is one delivered from a position of moral superiority. Just today I received an email that had been forwarded several times before cluttering up my email box. The original message was from a fish and game organization, whose website states that: “It’s time for sportsmen to stand together.” This epitomizes an over-used cliche that achieves the lower boundaries of boredom. Because the organization is promoting their own membership with platitudes of self-perceived grandeur, the moral impact of this comes from the simple fact that the “stand[ing] together” must happen on their terms because of superiority of thoughts and actions. This, in and of itself, is terribly unoriginal.

But, I shouldn’t pick on just one organization. It’s everywhere: “we need to reach across the aisle;” “we need to get something done;” “it’s important to compromise on issues in order to get something done;” “it’s been done this way since the beginning of time;” “It’s for National Security;” “Think of the children.”

It’s enough to make one’s stomach roll. But I have my doubts as to how many can see and recognize the boring, meaningless words and phrases that they’ve had drummed into their heads since childhood.

Earlier today, I was also following a discussion about how, “there needs to be a law” in order to deal with people who are doing things somebody else doesn’t like. This is what has become of our thoughtless society. It matters not whether one person is being lawful or not. If another doesn’t like it, “there ought to be a law to stop it.” After all, it would be “getting something done.” Is that what is meant by that statement? If so, then should we then, “stand together” and “think of the children” as we “reach across the aisle?”

Even before the moment we reached an age that we began speaking words, our minds have been bombarded with cliches and boring, meaningless, truism – catch phrases that tickle our feel good buttons. We are clueless as to what the actual meaning is but how wrong can it be to state: “It’s time for sportsmen to stand together?”

I am reminded of when the German people, after years of deprogramming, were convinced they needed to stand together. Somebody forget to question what it was that they were going to stand together for.
